Pomaglumetad methionil (INN, USAN; developmental code names LY-2140023 and LY-2812223) is a metabotropic glutamate mGlu2 and mGlu3 receptor agonist which is or was under development for the treatment of schizophrenia, substance-related disorders, and post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD).[1][2] It is taken orally.[1][2]
Pharmacology
[edit]The drug is an inactive prodrug of pomaglumetad (LY-404039), which acts as a highly selective metabotropic glutamate mGlu2 and mGlu3 receptor agonist.[2] Whereas the oral bioavailability of pomaglumetad was found to be low in humans, pomaglumetad methionil has an estimated oral bioavailability of approximately 49%.[2] The drug is transported by the peptide transporter 1 (PepT1), resulting in it being rapidly and efficiently absorbed, and is then hydrolyzed into pomaglumetad.[2] The elimination half-life of pomaglumetad methionil is 1.5 to 2.4 hours, whereas the half-life of pomaglumetad is 2 to 6.2 hours.[2]
Development
[edit]Pomaglumetad methionil was under development by Eli Lilly and Company, Denovo Biopharma, and other institutions.[1][3] As of January 2025, no recent development has been reported for treatment of schizophrenia or substance-related disorders, whereas development has been discontinued for PTSD.[1][3] The highest developmental stage that pomaglumetad methionil has reached is phase 2 clinical trials.[1][3]
